Berlin, May 23, 2024 – Cantourage Group SE (hereinafter “Cantourage,” ISIN: DE000A3DSV01), a leading European company for the production and distribution of cannabis, and Portocanna, a Portuguese company specializing in the processing of medical cannabis, today announce the launch of their exclusive strategic partnership. Portocanna’s state-of-the-art production facility will serve as an additional processing site for Cantourage’s cannabis flowers from more than 65 cultivation partners in 18 countries. With the two strains “Supreme Diesel” and “Fiji Sunset” from Cantourage’s cultivation partner Green Karat, the first two products processed at Portocanna are now available in German pharmacies.

‍

Cantourage recently expanded their own production facility in Germany, increasing its processing capacity to seven to eight tons of cannabis flowers per year. In the wake of legalization in Germany and the continued growth of other medical markets, Cantourage recorded strong revenue growth of around 160% in April compared to the same month last year. To meet the associated demand, production in Germany will now be supplemented by the partnership with Portocanna, adding up to an additional six tons of cannabis flowers per year that can be produced in Portugal. The company's total capacity to supply cannabis flowers to its European target markets will thus increase to up to 14 tons per year.‍

‍

Philip Schetter, CEO of Cantourage, is delighted with the new opportunities: “Since day one, our credo has been that everyone involved in the value chain should concentrate on the steps that they do best. Our growers have been successfully supplying domestic medical and recreational markets with their products for years and know every little detail about their flowers. We are delighted to be able to improve the security of supply in the currently very dynamic growth in demand by working together with Portocanna.”

‍
Besides the additional production route, the partnership will also enable Cantourage to exclusively distribute Portocanna’s own product line “Hexacan”, under which Portocanna brings together the products of numerous growers from Portugal and Spain. The first two varieties are already available and will be supplemented by numerous others in the months to come.

‍

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with such a reputable partner as Cantourage. Their expertise and shared values align perfectly with our commitment to excellence. Together, we will improve and secure a more efficient supply chain management system to benefit the entire industry. Cantourage’s established track record will complement Portocanna’s commitment to delivering top-quality products. By joining forces, both companies aim to set new standards in supply chain management, ensuring consistent, reliable, and efficient delivery of cannabis products.” commented Amit Edri, CEO of Portocanna.
